Underground and 4th and 5th Levels…
by Rodney Campbell on Jan.22, 2018, under Life, Photography
I’d booked something a little extra special for our visit to the Colosseum. Once a month on a certain day and time the online ticket office releases limited tickets for some special guided tours including one of the Underground and the newly opened 4th and 5th levels of the Colosseum.

I managed to snag tickets for all of us on an early morning session for the 75 minute guided tour in english. The tour was actually very interesting and you get to see and go to many places the normal public entry ticket cant (which only has access to the first and second levels).
Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger. To see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer click any of the images.

This handheld stitched panorama was taken from an open terrace on the third level which has a view which looks outside the Colosseum. This is the view looking primarily west of the Arch of Constantine, the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill.

We’re on our way up to the fourth and fifth rings so we’re looking down the steps to the third level below.
